G STAR RAM Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Weekly deaths below the 5 year average again despite another 500 Covid deaths being reported. Expect this number to fall away drastically now we are all going to be wearing masks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 There are reasons not to wear a mask. I can think of three off the top of my head: You have a serious lung condition which affects your breathing You are a carer for a deaf person who relies on lip-reading You are working in an environment where wearing a mask would potentially be detrimental to the health of others The people expressing various degrees of butthurtery are basically saying "I don't care if I kill you".

I'd hazard a guess you'd overcome your dislike of masks, if it was made compulsory to wear a mask when attending a sporting event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexxxxx Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I'm getting a bit concerned that some places in Spain etc are getting pockets of areas needing to be shut down again... Guess this is what we are needing to do too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems weird that Leicester would have so many cases that it warrants being in lockdown, yet a neighbouring city/county has no cases. In other news, it came out today that at the end of May (when lockdown measures were eased) the R number was actually 0.54 rather than the estimated 0.7-1. Almost as if the government doesn't know the actual R number or they do know the number but choose to disinform the population... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Cases" are actually newly diagnosed positive cases, not current cases. The latter is impossible to determine because we are a country with a government that don't release records of "recovered". Someone claiming that statement is veering into politics in 5....4....3.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
